I know where you're coming from! Being horribly depressed is one thing. It's even worse if you're in a situation where you have to hide the fact that you're horribly depressed.

I had what you have, but I'm free now. I still have the same feelings and occasional negative thoughts. The huge difference is that they no longer dominate me. My feelings actually tend to be more intense than before, but they are almost always much shorter in duration and they do not repeat. I decide if I want to continue feeling them or not. I am no longer AFRAID of my own thoughts and feelings.
